Discovery Team Here Pinpoints Key Gene In Immunity Woods Sees Sex Bias In Politics By Jim Mosley Of the Post-Dispatch Staff Scientists at Washington University Medical School have discovered that a gene known to cause cancer normally helps strengthen the body's immune system. The discovery helps explain why vaccinations are effective years after they are given. The researchers reported the finding Thursday in Nature, a scientific journal. The gene Bcl-2 prevents cells from dying, thus increasing the likelihood of cancer. cells are white blood cells equipped with antibodies; they normally live for relatively short periods of time.

But the researchers reported Thursday that by extending the lifetime of those cells, the Bcl-2 gene helps maintain the body's immune system. For instance, when a person gets a virus, the immune system rapidly produces cells to fight it But the body needs to retain the ability to fight such Korsmeyer is a professor at the university's Medical School and a researcher at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. The institute has research laboratories at several medical schools, including Washington University. The other scientists on the project were Gabriel Nunez, David Hockenbery, Timothy J. McDonnell and Craig M.

Sorensen. Keeping the cells alive has a downside, researchers said. Lengthening the life span of such cells increases the chance that they will cause cancer of the lymph nodes. "We've shown that cells that live longer acquire genetic defects that result in a very high incidence of threatening lymphomas," Korsmeyer said. The Bcl-2 gene apparently is unique in increasing the risk of cancer by preventing cells from dying.

Most other cancer-causing genes cause cells to grow and reproduce abnormally fast Ihe gene prevents cells from dying, thus increasing the likelihood of cancer, researchers say. viruses if they return. "Following a vaccination, you retain a small set of resting cells that survive indefinitely," the lead author of the study. Dr. Stanley J.

Korsmeyer, said in a statement. "These would allow you to make an instant recall when challenged." That ability is called cell memory." Researchers found that the Bcl-2 gene helped retain enough cells to fight another virus months or years after the first exposure. Ax State Reaches Settlement With Lake Ozark By Jo Mannies Post-Dispatch Political Correspondent Women in politics face the same sort of "glass ceiling" that impedes the advancement of their counterparts in business, says former LL Gov. Harriett Woods. That problem and ways to combat it are among several items slated for discussion today and Saturday at a conference here of female legislative leaders from around the country, said Woods, who was recently elected president of the National Women's Political Caucus.

About 60 legislators from 18 states are expected to attend the conference, "Making Leadership Count," at the University of Missouri at St. Louis. Besides Woods, featured speakers include public policy lecturer Marty Linsky of Harvard University, Rep. David Hollister, and Miranda Duncan of UMSL. The conference is being presented by UMSL's Institute for Policy Leadership, which Woods headed until her election this summer to the national post as caucus president.

Woods says the "glass ceiling" particularly afflicts women serving in state legislatures. She said male legislative leaders often avoided appointing women as heads of influential Harriett Woods Former lieutenant governor committees and thwarted efforts to elect women to top legislative posts, such as majority leader or speaker of the house. Some female legislators deal with the issue by choosing instead to run for statewide office. Woods cites her own decision to leave the Missouri Senate and run for lieutenant governor, a position she held from 1981-88. But now, she said, "more and more, we want women to move up within state legislatures." Women need to get themselves in key legislative positions to have real influence on state government and how money is spent, she said.

By Martha Shirk Of the Post-Dispatch Staff Felony charges against a midwife in Lake Ozark, have been dropped as part of a plea bargain that permits her to continue delivering babies. Sheila Nichting, a registered nurse who operates the Country Cradle birth clinic, pleaded guilty Thursday in Miller County Circuit Court to a charge of operating a surgical facility without a license, a misdemeanor. She was placed on six months' probation. Prosecutors dropped eight felony charges of practicing medicine without a license, as well as another misdemeanor charge. Miller County Prosecuting Attorney Kerry Row-den said he had agreed to drop the charges because of a settlement Nichting reached last month with the tion," she said.

The only condition of Nichting's probation is that she comply with her settlement agreement with the nursing board. That agreement requires her to get more training in nursing and to operate her clinic according to protocols signed by a physician. She will have no criminal record after completing probation, said her attorney, Randy Kahn. Nichting's legal problems began at 2:15 a.m. Jan.

24, when seven investigators for the State Board of Registration for the Healing Arts and the Miller County sheriffs office raided her clinic as a woman was recuperating from childbirth. Criminal charges were filed against her six weeks later, producing protests around the state by supporters of other midwives and mothers who have had midwife-assisted births. State Board of Nursing. The settlement allows her to continue her midwifery practice. "I figure that they know more about this than I do," Rowden said.

"If they say she can keep doing what she's doing, then there's no basis for criminal charges. I don't think Sheila Nichting ever thought she was violating the law." Nichting said she was relieved that her legal problems were over. "If it's done nothing else, my experience has produced a flood of people in Missouri who came out in support of the right to choose a midwife-assisted birth," she said. Nichting said she planned to work for legislation that would establish a registration process for mid-wives and clarify the legal position of midwives. "It's important to get legislation, to take away the ability of authorities to threaten us with prosecu Lack Of Clayton Permit Halts County Office Work FUNERAL NOTICES works.

"We, as a governmental agency working within our own buildings, disagree." Evett concedes that the law is unclear on whether the county is required to seek permits from the county. But, he said, contractors working for the county in the last 15 years have normally sought permits from Clayton. "Now, all of the sudden, they decide that is not legally correct," Evett said. On Thursday, county officials and Clayton officials worked out a plan that would make the county responsible for conducting inspections in the building. "We will do everything up to code," Daley said.

"We don't want to get into a situation where we have to get permits from Clayton for everything we do." The contractors are renovating three floors in an office building at 121 South Meramec Avenue in Clayton. The county's Department of Highways and Traffic will move into the building when the renovation work is done. The project will cost the county about $400,000. By Virgil Tipton Of the Post-Dispatch Staff Workers renovating a St. Louis County government building had to hang up their tools for a couple of days this week after Clayton officials nailed the county for failing to get permits.

But the contractors are expected to be back on the job today if Clayton and county officials approve an agreement that would clear Clayton of responsibility and would make the county responsible for inspections. The bureaucratic brouhaha started Wednesday afternoon, when Clayton officials told the workers to clear out. Clayton stopped the work because the county had failed to get plumbing and general contracting permits, said Lee R. Evett, Clayton's city manager. Korte-Plocher Construction the general manager on the project "immediately stopped work," said Cornell Meyer, the company's chief executive officer.

Nevertheless, county officials say the county needs no permits from Clayton.

Sanders and the suspects are former Beaumont High School students now attending McKinley High School because of renovations at Beaumont, police said. The fight broke out after Sanders, who was sitting, apparently told one of the suspects, who was standing, not to stand so close to his face.

When the shot was fired, several students scurried out the rear door. The bus driver told police she hadn't heard the shot because of all the commotion. A 17-year-old was shot in the foot in a fight with two other teen-agers on a crowded school bus Thursday afternoon, police said. The incident happened about 2:30 p.m. on a Mayflower bus at East Grand Boulevard and Blair Avenue, near the water tower.

The wounded youth, Charles Sanders, apparently was not seriously hurt, police said. He walked home after the shooting and later sought medical treatment. The bullet grazed Sanders' foot on the side of his big toe, police said. Police were looking for two sus MUSCOTT, ALTA MAE (nee Hul-sey). Sept.
